Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Mike Bell and twin brother Mark, who rejected a plea-bargaining offer, were convicted on federal charges by a federal jury in Wichita, Kan. Sentencing date was set for July 31. Mike was convicted of two felony counts of using the telephone to distribute cocaine and one of attempting to possess cocaine. Mark was convicted of one count of using the phone to distribute cocaine and one of attempting to possess cocaine. Each felony count carries a possible maximum penalty of four years in prison and a $30,000 fine. The attempted possession counts, misdemeanors, each could mean a one-year prison term and a $5,000 fine maximum. Mike Bell refused comment except to say, ''I'm feeling pretty bad right now.''
